Everything Beneath

“we have yet to break the surface” I whispered after hours of scratching the stars away from the sky with my fingertips to cusp them inside of my hands and feel their light.

I had every intention of stripping the darkness from the night – of pulling the constellations away from their imprints within the atmosphere to reveal Him

because years ago, Father had told me that “God is in everything”

and from then on, I chose to move my body gently and eat slowly, to swallow Eucharist in the smallest of pieces and nibble timidly around

the cores of peaches in the case that He was within its pit, and whenever I close my lips – I can feel Him extend His legs, pinned in all directions beneath my tongue, shaping my words from biblical psalm, pulling sin in strands of prayer from the lining of my throat …

I can always feel him, not heavy of a burden but wise, spread evenly about my skin, in everything I see and touch …

holding Him, the stars, my pulse, parts of Him, inside my hand realizing that no battle had ever been fought and won alone.

Edye, this is beyond amazing! I love how you decided to make gentle movements and just sit and feel God! His Word does say to "Be still and know I am God" and I believe with writing this you have done just that! The Lord has given you a fantastic talent to share with the world! I can't believe how many comments you have either! And to all those who say they aren't 'religous', this isn't about religion. Its about a relationship.

This poem has great flow and insight.
I really enjoyed it.
